Final Pages for the Wedding Album

Hello -

Whew...I am done and I finished the album before the shower!  I was a little worried I'd run out of time.  Here are the last 3 two page layouts.  I really liked using the DCWV formal affair for the album but I started to run out of paper's so I decided to make some backgrounds the the Cricut.  I used both the positive and the negative of these background cuts.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill, DCWV & Core'dinations), Cricut,, Embossing Folder, Art Philosophy, Wrap it Up, Winter Woodland & Sophisticated (Provo Craft) Tulle (Wilton), Ribbon (Offray) Epoxy Sticker (Cloud 9 Designs) & Stickles (Ranger).

Ice Skate Card...

Hello - 

Today I wanted to share a card I made just after Christmas with a leftover cut I had planned to use as a tag.  I was cleaning off my desk and decided to make my first Christmas card of 2012.  It is a 4.25" square card.

Supplies: Cardstock (Georgia Pacific & The Paper Co.), Pattern Paper (Recollections), Stickles (Ranger), Stamps (My Pink Stamper), Cricut & Winter Woodland Cartridge (Provo Craft).

This got me thinking that I would like to do a few Christmas cards each month so I am not scrambling at the end of the year.  I hope you don't mind  if I share them even when it spring and summer.  :)

Canvas Wall Art

Hello everyone.  We are having another bit of a cold snap here in the mid-west.  Spring like temps last week and freezing rain this morning.  Go figure.  Today's post is a wall hanging my daughter (17) made for a nine year old girl's upcoming birthday.  She raided my stash of canvases that I stocked up on so long ago when I thought I would alter them for home decor.  I was happy to see some of them used up.  I used the font on the Winter Woodland Cricut Cartridge to cut the letters for her and she did the rest.  She even made the bunched up satin flower on the ribbon hanger on top.

Supplies: Ribbon (Offray & American Crafts), Cardstock (American Crafts), Acrylic Paint, Buttons, Flowers, Brads (misc.), Rhinestones (CTMH), Cricut, Winter Woodland & Hello Kitting Greetings Cartridges (Provo Craft), Staple Gun.

1st Christmas Card...

I just purchased the Winter Woodland cartridge and was inspired to make something warn and cozy.  I have a lot more to make but this is 'one down'. 

This is a standard size card and I used the a Stamps of Life set for the sentiment.

Supplies: Pattern Paper (DCWV), Cardstock & Ink (CTMH), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, Winter Woodland, Storybook (Provo Craft).
